Dear Friends and Community,

We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt request to support Drew, a brave 12-year-old boy, who is facing a challenging surgery. Drew is a talented guitar player, sketch artist, cook, and a loving big brother and wonderful son. He can light up any room with his humor and has kept that humor through so many ups and downs with his condition. Drew has been diagnosed with a heart condition that requires a crucial heart valve replacement surgery. This procedure is life-saving, but it comes with significant financial burdens for his family. Drew’s surgery is scheduled soon, and while the medical team is ready to provide the best care, his family needs help to manage the overwhelming expenses that come with such a major operation. The costs include the bills, food, and the extensive aftercare Drew will need during his recovery.

Surgery is 7/25/2024, its a scary time for a 12 year old and his concerned family and friends

Please share his go fund me with your friends and family and we thank you.

Why We Need Your Help

1. **Medical Bills**: Even with insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses for the surgery and hospital stay are substantial.

2. **Daily Living Expenses**: With Drew’s parents needing to take time off work to be by his side, the family’s income will be significantly reduced. This makes it difficult to cover everyday expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries.

3. **Recovery and Aftercare**: Post-surgery, Drew will require ongoing medical care, including follow-up appointments, medications, and possibly physical therapy to ensure a full recovery. ###

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous difference in Drew’s journey to recovery. Your generosity will help ensure that Drew’s family can focus on what truly matters: supporting Drew through his surgery and recovery without the added stress of financial worries.

Your Support Means the World Please join us in lifting up Drew and his family during this difficult time. Share this campaign with your friends and family, and if you’re able, please consider making a donation. Together, we can make a difference and help Drew get back to being the energetic, playful boy we all love. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.

Update:  surgery was a success, he now has an adult mitral valve and now begins the healing process.  Parents need all the support we can give them, either funds or prayers!

Thanks to all who have prayed and donated funds.

With gratitude,

Linda Johnson
